Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What components are included in the BA BHP1200 seal kit?
A: The BA BHP1200 is a comprehensive seal kit designed for manual pallet jack hydraulic systems. It contains replacement seals, gaskets, and O-rings for the pump, cylinders, and valve assemblies. Confirm the exact seals included in your kit by referencing your equipment schematic.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models does the BA BHP1200 seal kit fit?
A: The BA BHP1200 is compatible with Baker manual pallet jacks and fits equipment using similar hydraulic pump and cylinder configurations. Cross-reference your pallet jack model and serial number with the kit documentation to verify compatibility before ordering.
Q: What materials are used in the BA BHP1200 seals?
A: Seal kits typically contain Buna-N rubber seals for standard hydraulic oil compatibility, and may include PTFE or composite materials for valve spools. Material selection ensures chemical compatibility with ISO 32 or ISO 46 hydraulic fluid commonly used in manual pallet jacks.
Q: How often should hydraulic seals be replaced in a manual pallet jack?
A: Seal replacement intervals depend on usage and maintenance. Light use equipment may need seals replaced every 3 to 5 years, while high-frequency use warrants replacement every 1 to 2 years. Internal leakage, slow lowering, or loss of lifting pressure indicate seal degradation.
Q: What causes premature failure of pallet jack hydraulic seals?
A: Contaminated hydraulic fluid, water intrusion, extreme temperature exposure, and high-pressure spikes reduce seal lifespan. Regular fluid analysis and proper maintenance extend seal life significantly compared to neglected equipment.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the BA BHP1200 seal kit?
A: Cross-reference your specific pallet jack model to identify equivalent seal kits from other manufacturers. The BA BHP1200 may have OEM equivalents depending on the original equipment brand. Contact us with your pallet jack model and we can verify exact cross-references.
